The Bangladesh team was not finalized even the day before the match

The final player list of 23 members has to be given in the manager's meeting on the day before the start of the international tournament. In the World Cup and Asian Cup joint qualifiers, the two teams have to give the final list in the Match Coordination Meeting (MCM) held the day before each match. Today, Bangladesh could not name the final team for the match against Palestine tomorrow at King's Arena.


Coach Javier Cabrera named a 28-man initial squad for the home and away matches against Palestine. After playing a match in Kuwait, the coach could not finalize the 23-man squad 24 hours before the match. The Spanish coach was shocked to drop five people from the initial squad. Almost the same thing happened in Kuwait.

Bangladesh team has submitted 25 names today. Requested the match commissioner to provide the final list tomorrow excluding two more. Match tomorrow at 3:30 pm. Less than twelve hours left. The coach is still undecided to decide on 23. The situation of the XI is therefore quite predictable.

The coach also made many additions and subtractions in the initial team call. That's why the Federation is often in trouble with visas and tickets. Like the initial team, now the final team is also reluctant to deliver. The final party given after the specified time is however contrary to international law. The coach is in fear of a penalty for such an incident. It has been reported that Buffa may deduct the coach's honorarium if Bangladesh is fined.
